The 32nd presidents summer home on campobello Island in New Brunswick, Canada.
[By the way it's a giant crab sculpture] ;-)
Spot on.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States, lived there.
The house is on Campobello Island, just in New Brunswick, Canada, and is actually physically connected by the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Bridge with Lubec, Maine - the eastern-most tip of the continental United States.
Open to the public and well worth a visit if in the area.
(That’s me – don’t know my crabs from my lobsters ) :- )
{Here's a link for more information -- & if you give us enough clues.....}
Where is it ?
http://www.roadtripamerica.com/forum...&pictureid=517
It's in one of your field reports -- but I am not going to say which one..... Let some more folks try and find it.
Mark
Come on now folks... Dave's field report, with that photo (above), has been high cited on this forum at least 100+ times....
In the meantime, there are some visual clues as to where in the world this is....
(ABQ Arts Center Sculpture photo by Gerald Thurman)
The “hot spot” – I peeped to find out where it is.
Warm Springs, Nevada, is located at the junction of U.S. Route 6 and State Route 375 (the "Extraterrestrial Highway"), around 40 miles east of Tonopah.
Clue: Mark Twain has a connection with this place.
PS: Won’t rush to provide more clues because I think this is a fun picture.

Virginia City, Nevada -- I don't which parade this is -- The photo is taken about 75 yards from the Mark Twain museum and about 45 yards from the Bucket o' Blood Saloon.
Mark
Although I was in Albuquerque end of last year didn’t venture as far as the museum.
It is the Sculpture Garden of the Albuquerque Museum in Old Town.
{Excellent, excellent work -- It's amazing to me that you know such much about the USA!}
Yes Virginia City, Nevada, is the place. Dash – I didn’t make it into the saloon.
Mark Twain was born with the name Samuel Langhorne Clemens and while on his early travels he became an unsuccessful silver miner in Virginia City. He then found work there as a local journalist and it is said it was there he started using the pen name Mark Twain. From little acorns…..
They have numerous events in Virginia City and although this day event was based around vintage/classic cars I cannot remember its official name.
Can’t resist showing a couple more photos of the same event.
Hello boys…...

Cor, it's Bin a long time since I posted the Kentucky fried chicken photo... no guesses? Come on, who'll be the First???
There are over 5000 KFC franchises in the United States alone! What makes that one special?
AZBuck
Guess.
Corbin KY.

Okay a new one.
I was gonna go with this but then thought it'd be just a tad rude!

So, how about this one instead? (if anyone can get the first one I will personally buy them a pint!)
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3419/...6170d1.jpg?v=0
PS No pint for guessing the second one!
I've certainly see that winter view a bunch of times (or, at least one very similar). Wyoming, North Dakota, even I-25 on the eastern slope of the Rockies can look like that.
Dry Tortugas for the beach scene perchance?
Mark
I think the quest for the location of the first photo could run and run... which is a shame as I think I owe you a couple of pints (of Alaskan Amber?!)
And, yes, the latter is indeed in Dry Tortugas NP. Taken from the loading dock as the second (and final) ferry departs for the evening and heads back to Key West leaving me and a handful of others on our own 'desert island'! A great feeling... only spoiled when that damn ferry return the next morning and spewed a whole boat load of tourists onto MY island!!
Anyway...
another for those coaster fans

I gotta get back to work but....
Could it be Kings Island Park in Kings Mills, Ohio?
Joel Rogers has created what is arguably the best coaster photo gallery on the web....
Mark
No, way further south...
Ah yes - I remember trying to get the same shot in 2005 and being chased off by a diminutive security guard who proceeded to mumble something about private property and security concerns... I guess I wasn't supposed to tell the world about a 40-floor office building!
We had a similar experience -- It does seem a bit peculiar that one can't take a photo there.
Mark
Whilst people ponder over the coaster, here's another

Nice place! Did you take a peek inside?Quote:

Here's another photo of the same location which may make thing easier?

Hard to believe that they made it safe enough for tourists... I like the hard hat touch though!
Mark
Do I look the part? :p It felt very odd putting a hard hat on again after so long away from work!
No, not in the Yukon. A clue: it is in a US National Park someplace...
OK....
The 14 story Mill Building of the Kennecott Copper Corporation, which was built in the early 1900’s in Kennecott, Alaska.
I guess I ought to mention the park.... Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
Mark
You got it! It is quite an amazing building in an awesome (and America's biggest) national park. The people who did the mill tour for us were the same people who took us hiking on the Kennicott glacier (note the different spelling - somewhere along the line someone named the town wrong!)Quote:

The ancient Maya ruins of Chinkultic, situated on the western edge of the Lakes of Montebello National Park near Comitan de Dominguez?

OK, then, if you've ever seen Chinkultic, you'd know why I was confused! Thanks for that....Quote:

Part of the film depicts the fall of Babylon – this picture from the film tells you all. As you say Mark, it takes the boldness of Hollywood.
A loose clue – an uplifting experience for some.

I can't look it up from here -- but I think that was the garage where the Apple computer was born? I'll be back in six hours and can reach my notes.
Mark
Where are these ruins?
Never been there, but Mesa Verde?
Close but not that garage.Quote:
